I guess I am behind.. My last thought on it would be this. Instead of an x by each message, it would be nice to have a empty box beside all messages in the conversation, then a "select all" button that selects all the empty boxes, then we could manually uncheck the ones we want to keep, and hit a delete button. That's how GMail and Yahoo mail work, and my online spam catcher. I do use PM's for later reference, so many I do keep. Just wishing. Thanks Gunter.
